Cars 2: Kimberly Rims & Carinne Cavvy 2-Pack

Literally just released by Mattel, here we have the brand new Cars 2 Kimberly Rims and Carinne Cavvy "movie moments" 2-pack! I was lucky enough to find it at my local Toys R Us today and I was pretty pumped since this pack just barely started hitting shelves.

As seen in the screen shot above, both Kimberly and Carinne can be seen as spectators during the very beginning of the WGP Porto Corsa race.

These are 1:55 scale diecast cars with added plastic accessories. They are numbered 6/9 of the 2014 "Race Fans" sub-series.

I know I've said it before, but it's still amazing to me how many of these background characters (that you only see for a split second) get made into diecasts. I'm not complaining, the more the merrier, but I'm interested in their character selection process and how Pixar has come up with so many names for them! With Cars 3 in the works as well, I'm pretty sure this diecast line will be never-ending.

Since this is a new item, Amazon only has it available from one seller for $34.99 (+$4.99 shipping) but more will be coming as soon as this release is more widespread. As far as eBay, there are currently only four being sold, but again, that should change very soon. If you do want to snag one of these early on eBay, you can do so by using the direct link below:Cars 2: Kimberly Rims & Carinne Cavvy 2-pack
